Google engineers want to introduce DRMs for web pages, making ad-blocking near-impossible in the browser - eviltoast

And since you won’t be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is… interesting to say the least.

    Luckly we still have free platforms like lemmy, browsers like Firefox, networks like tor or i2p, torrents, monetary system like bitcoin.

    We can step out of the world of and we are the ones who have the most intruments to do so.
